Knife: yew handled Polar whittler

[Dreadhead]

I have for sale an unused, hand-handled whittler, made by my father-in-law Stuart Mckenzie, with a sheath made by myself.

Polar Whittler SS 80 stick tang blade
Layered handle consisting of a solid brass bolster, reindeer antler, leather, and yew. The yew was made in two halves, split down the tang lengthwise (each half carved out to fit the tang snug). Whether this affects the robustness of the knife I'm not sure, being a small whittler it's not likely to be battened or take much excess stresses. It feels very strong and comfortable in the grip.

Sheath is very simple; 3mm veg tan sealed with wax, hand saddle-stitched with artificial sinew, with a belt loop and brass D ring to take a dangler. Can make a dangler free of charge if required.

Price is Sold pending funds.

Nice job. Is this a new venture after the bags, or am I just behind the times?

Dam your eyes Hamish Why'd you post that beauty at that price when my shopping is done and I'm totally brassic? Lovely and is a steal at that price.

Cheers for waking up the greeneyed monster,
GB.

Very nice. The color of the sheath and the wood goes so well... I wish I had space in my life for another scandi. ☺

'Twas I that bought this knife

I paid for it yesterday, 23rd, and after very kindly holding it for me, Hamish posted yesterday morning; upon my soul, it's arrived at my house just now; Allow me to assure you all that it's even nicer than it looks!

If the Royal Mail can do this at this time of year, how come they get so much wrong?

Thanks muchly Hamish, it's a corker all 'round
